24.01.2022 Throwback Thursday Phil sent me this photo yesterday as he was looking through old photos. This was at Zion National Park. Definitely one for the bucket list. When I think back on my life the memories of travel are the ones deeply Imbedded that makes me feel exceptionally happy and proud of the life I live and choices I make. Its not the things I buy, its the memories of the places and people Ive met along the way. Looking back on this photo is one of those moments. Whil...st having nice things is great making time to make memories and experiences are the things that stick with you long term I always look forward to travel but never wishing for different times enjoying life as it currently it also

23.01.2022 Happy Monday! Lets talk about weight loss alone being a crap goal! Our bodies are capable of amazing things and adapt really well to our lifestyles. Generally the biggest barrier for people is their own mindset and thinking that their current situation is the end game and cannot be changed. Your body will adapt to how you live. If you want to be able to do something Theres no secret. Start doing it ... Focus on getting stronger, fitter and eat to support the activities youre doing. If you focus solely on weight loss alone the process of obtaining this goal can become extreme and defeating Change youre goal from only weight loss and set some physical goals. Being able to walk/ run, do a hike. Pick something that youd think youd like to do but the barrier is your current fitness level then set some weekly/ daily goals that will help you to get there Then dont beat yourself up if you have a crap day/ week get back in the horse and start again. Consistency is the key and were not robots and perfect so at some point along the way you may fuck up. Learn from it and put strategies in place to do better next time. Would love to hear your physical goals? Currently mine is improving my Handstands : @matt.ingram.art #fitness #gym #weightloss #fatloss #coach #mindset #mondaymotivation #health #lovelocalcamden

21.01.2022 Whats the best type of training you should do? Something you enjoy and you do consistently. By all means you should be specific with your training if you have a specific goal, however if you are not training for anything specific then finding something you enjoy and will do regularly is better then not at all.... If you are looking to improve your overall health, fitness, performance and wellbeing Including the following in your program is a good start: Multi-directional movements A solid foundation of strength/ resistant training Cardiovascular endurance Movements that challenge your ROM & stability. : @matt.ingram.art #fitness #canberra #onlinecoach #canberrafitness #sydneypersonaltrainer #gym #health #wellbeing #wellbeing

21.01.2022 Challenge accepted Ive decided to share this post as this is one of my amazing clients but also super star business women who Im sure many of you have seen her amazing work, If not be sure to check her out @lataraceramics I also couldnt find a picture that isnt me doing something fitness related that I wanted to post, but when I saw this pic I thought it was a perfect time to post it considering its about supporting Women.... I nominate @rebeccakosanic @renee.sbezzi @lenka_squats

19.01.2022 Its easy to get caught up in only measuring your success of your fitness/ weight loss journey by looking only at scale weight. However scale weight is not the only thing you should measure and can be more of a negative measurement if its all your focusing on. Its common to not see a lot of changes on the scales when starting out which often leads to decline in motivation. When taking your scale weight use is at a measurement but also take into consideration the following: ... Girth measurements, these will give you a better understanding of body composition changes Strength & fitness increases - by focusing on increasing your strength and fitness you will set yourself up for better results and mental health improvements Mindset changes and mental health- this is first and for most Improving quality of food, eating habits and behaviours Improving daily lifestyle choices, this could include a better sleep routine Your value and progress is not defined by the number on the scales #health #fitness #onlinecoach #weightloss #motivation

18.01.2022 Monday The time to set your intentions for the week and plan out your training goals. Heres my plan, Id love to hear yours?... 2 Runs 2 Handstands sessions 3 Strength 1 Ride Plus tracking my food, reducing screen time and finishing my book. :@scottbaldwinphotography #gym #fitness #goals #camden #mondaymotivation

18.01.2022 Training should not be punishment for how you feel about your body and yourself It should be a way of improving your quality of life and how your feel about yourself Change your focus on how you look to focusing on quality of movement and how you live (daily habits/ choices).... You can still love your body and want to improve it. If you are currently not happy with where you are and find yourself in a vicious cycle of binge eating, punishment with training. Try focusing on learning your triggers, sticking to a consistent training routine which is achievable and creating healthy eating habits without being too restrictive. When training work on improving your technique, fitness and quality of movement over just burning calories A good coach can also guide you through this process, anyone can provide a workout that burns calories. But most of all be gentle on yourself in the process and seek out knowledge or professional help #coach #movement #health #wellness #fitness #gym #motivation

17.01.2022 Following on from my post yesterday. I was asked to do a video with some exercises for the core. Heres are some exercises for Mums following Pregnancy, however this is not only relevant for mums. Core Strength and Maintaining strength In the core throughout movements is important for anyone looking to reduce pain, improve performance and reduce the risk of injury. Any questions feel free to shoot me a msg....

17.01.2022 Strong core = better workouts! No matter what your modality of training, improving core strength will improve strength, athletic performance, posture and reduce the risk of injury. The core is the link between our upper and lower body. Sit-ups and a 6packs do not mean you have a good core and should not be your only focus with core training.... Youre ability to maintain a neutral spine throughout movements and maintain posture throughout movements does define the quality of your core. Swipe for three great core exercises. Compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, pull ups and overhead press can also be beneficial in training the core. 1.The Deadbug: Start by lifting legs to a 90degree angle, ensure back is pressed firmly into the ground and squeeze ribs down. Maintain deep breathing without sucking in your stomach. Extend out opposite arm/ leg and alternate whilst keeping back pressed into the ground ( it shouldnt arch) 2. The ab roll-out: My fav but also a more advanced core exercise. Roll arms out and return to starting position, however ensure your Body moves as one and your back does not arch. This can also be done on a Swiss ball or TRX. 3. Plank- regress this exercise by having feet on the floor. Ensure back is neutral ( no arch) press through hands to ensure youre not sinking into your shoulders. Any questions feel free to ask below #plank #core #performance #athlete #gym #fitness @ Squat Club

16.01.2022 Happy Monday I hope you all had a great weekend! Here’s a few tips to help recovery from your training. Whilst the time you spend in the gym is important the other 22-20hours of the day are just as important, If not more important.... DOMS ( Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) is also quite common from training, there is still a bit of misconception around chasing soreness from a workout equalling a good workout when in fact it is more linked to how well you recover and also the type of training you do, how often and née exercise routine, rest etc. just because you are sore or not getting sore doesn’t mean your workout wasn’t effective. Improving your recovery will improve your performance. Hierarchy of recovery: Sleep 7-9 hours this is where our body recovers physically and mentally. Nutrition protein, carbs and fats. Specifically Protein its the building blocks of muscle and help repair the micro tears from training. We need a minimum amount of a daily basis as it’s not stored like carbs and fats. Ensuring enough nutrition also. Hydration we’ve all heard that our bodies are made up of 75% water. Water helps lubricate our joints, deliver nutrients, help homeostasis & body temp. Also improved sleep, conflictive function and mood. Balanced training intensity - having a solid balance of high volume sessions with lower volume/ active recovery Breathing- improve oxygen saturation to muscles and lowered HR. Improved mindset and nervous system activity. Promote more parasympathetic state ( rest & digest) Massage/ foam rolling/ stretching. However if you don’t have the above in check these won’t make much of a difference. They potentially might make you feel slightly better short term but not improving your overall performance without the above in place. Have a awesome week with your health and training if you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message. #health #recovery #fitness #lean #muscles #fitchics #coach #wellness #personaltrainer #canberrafitness #sydney #onlinecoach #gymlife #activelife #education #mindset #fatloss #performance #sportsperformance #training #strong

15.01.2022 A few food tips to be mindful of Food is not to be feared especially if you’re trying to lose weight. Yes calories and amount matter, but food is not the enemy and by consuming correct portions of food it is actually going to be your best friend in helping to manage mood, energy levels, performance, motivation and overall health and well-being. You can enjoy your favourite foods in moderation, there’s no need to entirely restrict yourself from any food group unless you ha...ve a allergy or it affects you negatively in some way. Just because it’s classified as healthy doesn’t mean it will help you lose weight if that’s your goal~ calorie consumption does count. It’s best to learn about what works for you and what doesn’t instead of trying to copy the newest fad or do something that worked for your friend. Most of All Carbs at night is no different to the morning- if anything they can help you with sleep Theres no best food for fat loss except being in a calories deficit Yes you should aim to eat mostly whole foods and fresh fruits and vegetables but you can also include you favourite meals Food is to be enjoyed not feared or restricted all the time.

14.01.2022 Metrics to track if you’re looking to improve your health Daily Steps - having a fitness tracker can be a great way to keep yourself accountable and monitor how much activity you do on a daily basis. You may be surprised by how much/ little you do. This is also something we can easily alter to increase calories expenditure for fat loss. Sleep influences our hormones, lean muscle mass, food choices and performance. Quality of sleep is just as important as quality. The bes...t sleep tracker I’ve come across is my @ouraring it’s super accurate and also helps with recovery. How many steps do you get in a day? I aim for 10k. I struggle to get higher most days, especially now I’m back at Uni.

14.01.2022 What are macros and why track them? Macros stands for macronutrients meaning large nutrients these include our protein , carbohydrates and fats . All these macros are important in our diet. We then also have micronutrients which are small nutrients found in our foods these include our vitamins and minerals Both macro and micronutrients we obtain through our diet. Today Ill discuss our macronutrients macros ... Protein is important for: Increasing Lean Muscle Mass & Strength Recovery from Training Hormone Production Cell Structure & Function Supports Immune System Carbohydrates : Provide Energy & Regulate Blood Glucose Fibre- Promote healthy gut bacteria Saves the use of Protein for Energy The Brains preferred source of Energy Fats : Provide Energy & Insulation Promotes absorption of Fat-Soluble Vitamins (A,D,E,K) Synthesis of Hormones Supports Immune Functions Boosts Brain Function Tracking macros is a popular and common way many trainers use to improve body composition. It involves tracking your food via an app commonly MyFitnessPal. Focusing on hitting a target goal of protein, carbohydrates and fats each day. The reason why its common is because its a great tool to: Educate clients about food intake Build habits to sustain weight loss long term Allows for clients to enjoy their favourite foods and select their own food choices (within limits) Provides education around portion control Provides data, what is measured can be changed. Whilst its not for everyone and it does take time and commitment, however if youre looking to improve body composition, performance and also monitor your food intake to improve your diet its a fantastic tool and worthwhile putting in the effort #macros #flexibledieting #canberrafitness #coach #fitness #weightloss #onlinecoach #camden #lovelocalcamden

13.01.2022 Drinking on the job Kerwin sent us all a Afternoon drink to enjoy with the KTeam on the @kerwinrae #NISI2020 course. Day 2 into this 3 day course.

13.01.2022 Looking for some new recipes? This is one of our favs we actually had it last night. Its a great way to get some more salmon into your diet and its super quick. Its been a winner for all. If you want more protein in it you can always add more smoked salmon to this dish.... Inspired by the lovely @janet.wickham #health #recipes #simplefood #easydinner

13.01.2022 Whats on for the week? Last week was my first week back with full time uni and being in Canberra. Safe to say my steps were down for the week as well as my training. I still managed 2 runs, 1 strength and a walk. When it comes to exercise there can always be things that get in youre way. Some weeks will be better then others the main thing is make the most of your situation and then plan to do better the following week.... For me this week: Ive prepared my meals for the week. Planned out my training days and booked into 2 handstand classes to get back into that training. Going to make more effort to get my daily steps up. Learning to make the most of your current situation is better then being all or nothing. Whats youre goals for the week? Setting intentions for the week can be a great way to improve your outcome and what you do #fitness #health #onlinecoach #canberrafitness #mindset #motivation #sydney #personaltrainer

12.01.2022 Happy Monday Something Ive noticed over the past week is motivation is on the decline for many people, whether its the weather or the sense that change is on the horizon and some mixed feelings coming up or home workouts are not cutting it but these phases come and go. Something Ive been doing with my clients over the past week is setting out your intentions for the week. Something Ive found helpful for myself and also clients.... Setting out which days Ill train, what I need to get done on which days and what Id like to get out of the week. Something Ive also got my clients to do is reflect on what they could do better. If youre struggling with motivation try setting yourself a goal for this week. Remember how you feel after youve done your workout or whatever it is that you want to do but find hard to set out the time to do it. Have a fab week! Motivation wont always be there but good habits are : @matt.ingram.art #monday #fitness #motivation #isolife #healthy

12.01.2022 Happy Monday My training goals for the week are: 1. Three strength sessions 2. 1 x run + 1x cycle... 3. 2x handstand sessions. Set yourself some goals for the week. Plan a time that you can do these. Keep yourself accountable to a friend or coach. Whats your goals for the week? #health #fitness #monday

11.01.2022 Yesterday we took a drive to the beach one to see how big the waves were, two we havent been there in ages and three take Phil for a drive and get him out of the house. The beach always makes me feel amazing and if you havent heard of earthing/ grounding practices heres some info. Some people might think think is woo woo. Grounding/ earthing refers to the discovery that bodily contact with the earths natural electric charge stabilises the physiology at our deepest level. I...t reduced Inflammation, pain and stress, improves blood flow, energy, sleep patterns and generates great wellbeing.

10.01.2022 Are you being too restrictive on your food? Commonly when Individuals starts their weight loss journey they think about all the things they need to cut out and restrict because its impacting their progress. Usually its bread, alcohol, sugar etc. These may be the foods that are impacting on your progress but if we restrict these foods too much theres a good chance youll end up binge eating down the track and having a very black and white view of food. Whilst there are Food...s you definitely want to limit how much you eat and foods that promote good health. Having a negative relationship with food and banning yourself is not a healthy weight loss approach. Unless you have medical reasons for avoiding certain foods there should be no reason you restrict certain food groups from your diet. Instead focus on the following: - adding fruit per day fruit - Increasing vegetable intake - Focus on getting a serving of protein in per meal - Increasing fibre intake! Hope that helps, and dont forget to be gentle on yourself in the process, dont expect perfect with food, training and lifestyle. If you have a bad day accept it, learn from it and move on. Dont beat yourself up I usually enjoy a bit of chocolate or biscuit on the daily. Sometimes even the odd glass of red wine.

10.01.2022 Without trying to be cliched or pretend to be motivation, this is something I see in clients who struggle to progress! Now dont get me wrong I am guilty of this also and I need to check myself at times. However the more we give into our emotions the less power we have. If you want to achieve something you are not currently doing. You need to not let your emotions take control. Its easy to give into how youre feeling in your current state. For eg. Not training because you f...eel tired or sore, there will be lots of times I feel like crap and dont want to train and its easier to skip a day. However if we continually give into this we will continue to spin our wheels and this is the behaviour we train to be our habit! However learning to say no and do the hard things when we dont feel like it where we make progress. The more we do this on small occasions the easier it gets and this is the habit and behaviour we build. Try this: Not giving in to cravings all of the time. Feeling like getting take away but decide to cook instead is a better long term choice. Feeling tired and not wanting to train- go do it anyways Accept you feel that way but doesnt mean you have to act on those feelings. Accept how you feel, move on and act in a different way that is more congruent with your goals. #fitness #onlincecoach #health #mindset #gym #activelife #sydney #personaltraineronline

09.01.2022 This is one of my hardest working clients who has become an inspiration to many others. Jamie started with about a year ago me has become part of the family at Squat Club. Its has been an absolute honour to train him over the last year and to see the changes he has made to his lifestyle.... Jamie is now able to do things that he wouldnt consider doing before. As I always say to my clients making changes physically is awesome but the impact that changing your lifestyle and improving health and fitness improves all aspects of life and enables you to get more out of life and have confidence in your body and the things it can do. Age is not a barrier, pain is not a barrier and changing your lifestyle does not mean you have to quit everything that you enjoy such as the occasional beers with the boys. Having a bit of discipline with your lifestyle and making some changes can have profound impacts on your health long term. There is no short cuts or secrets just consistency, hard work and following the process! Well done Jamie Thanks for being such an amazing client. Clients like yourself are among the many reasons I love what I do and why I do it. #fitness #gym #coach #weightloss #fatloss #transformation #health #lovelocalcamden #fit #fitnessjourney #motivation #sydneyaustralia #squatclubau #squatclub

08.01.2022 It’s ok to break the rules Common mistakes of people on their journey to improving their health and fitness or trying to improve body composition is striving for perfection and having everything on point. This is the biggest reason why most individuals give up because they feel they can’t continue with the expectations or trying to have the perfect day/ week and if that doesn’t happen they fall off the bad wagon. This thinking is very black & white all or nothing approach... is unrealistic. There’s a good chance you’re probably going to have many weeks that don’t go to plan or aren’t perfect. This is all part of life and having a perfectionist attitude means that you are less able to adapt to your changing environment. There are some elements you can control but sometimes things will come up that will alter your plan and it’s your responsibility to be able to adapt and adjust to making the best choice in that environment. Give up the need to be perfect all the time with diet and training~ learn to listen to your body One bad meal/ day / week / month even 3 months won’t be such a big deal if you stay consistent for the long haul and get back into it. Don’t be so hard on yourself, If you’re feeling tired there’s a good chance you need a break. Take it you’ll feel better for it and come back stronger. No one expects you to be perfect ~ no even your coach Your food doesn’t have to be spot on or healthy every meal to get results Learn to let go of the guilt around food or the vicious cycle of using training as punishment for what you’ve eaten. Results might come slower but a year of slower progress is better than a short period of perfection which leads you to giving up due to it being to hard to stick with. If you’re a all or nothing person and not getting the results you want, then maybe you need to reconsider your approach and be gentler on yourself. #fitness #fit #coach #health #canberralocals #canberrafitness #gym #mindset #coach #onlinecoach #personaltrainer #weightlossjourney #fitchics #sydney #fatloss

07.01.2022 Your health is not defined by the number on the scales Whilst losing body fat and improving your body composition does improve your health markers, the definition of health is a broad term and the state of your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing also determines your health. The process is improving body composition most of the time inherently improves the overall health of your life, if you dont becomes too focused on your scales weight and the chase for ...improved body composition becomes obsessive. Heres some tips to improve your overall health and also body composition: Improve your daily environment and habits Walk on a daily basis Spend time in nature and outside in sunlight Increase whole food intake ( more fruits & vegetables) Build a solid sleep routine by getting up and going to bed at the same time Drink more water compared to anything else Increase your strength and CV Fitness by including a combination of training into your life Making small daily changes to your lifestyle and habits #health #healthylifestyle #onlinecoach #personaltrainer #wellness #fitness #canberrafitness #sydney #nature

07.01.2022 There’s no short cuts to improving your health and fitness Stop looking for short cuts Stop program/ coach hunting- learn to do the boring things really well. Stop looking for the next best diet... Stop expecting results to come over night Stop punishing yourself for what you eat and over exercising. Learn to enjoy the process and find things you enjoy Believe that you can improve your health and make changes just like your favourite fitness person Make small steps and don’t expect perfection Don’t give up as soon as you have a bad week. Celebrate the small things you do each day Do it for you and don’t apologise to anyone else if you change and they don’t like It You got this #health #fitness #onlinecoach #personaltrainer #fit #gym #health #happy #fatloss #weightloss #transformation #motivation #canberrafitness #sydney #fitchics #chicswholift #strong #mindset #results #education

06.01.2022 Its easy to make excuses in the short term- but it feels better when you take action in the long run. Its common for people to make excuses as to why they werent able to eat healthy or exercise but in the reality the choice is yours of what you choose to eat and how you choose to use your time. I do know that there are always exceptions in the odd case, however for 99% of adults the choice is yours about how your health is and what you choose to do with your time!...

05.01.2022 Why follow a structured program? Years ago I thought following a structured program was only for body builders and was boring. Until I got to the point that I wasnt happy with where I was and didnt seem to be progressing. This was when I sought out a coach about 5 years ago and I remember saying to him I like variety. My view of a good workout was A. How dead I was at the end of the session and B. How long I was sore for. Thankfully having a better understanding my wor...kouts have changed and this is no longer my workout goals. I now enjoy movement quality and focusing on my body, at times it can be a form of meditation. I still enjoy an element of variety and on the odd occasion will do a training session of what I enjoy but its mainly just a run, ride or core session. Now I realise that following a structured program is not just for bodybuilders. It can be applied to a variety of goals/ outcomes and not just in fitness. Why: ~ its specific to your goal ~ its able to be progressed on a weekly basis- if its progressing then youre improving. ~ practice makes progress ~ building lean muscle and strength take a lot of time and repetition ~ what is measured gets managed ~ structure and routine Following a program or plan can be implemented for any goal and to me one of the best ways to be specific with working towards your goal. Set out your end game then figure out what you need to do to get there on a daily/ weekly basis. Following the program and progress on a weekly basis. Random workouts and sessions that are done purely to burn calories or to just get the heart rate up do just that, but what are you really aiming for and improving on? Dont just exercise~ train with purpose! Move Better Be Specific Progress Track and monitor progress. :@scottbaldwinphotography

04.01.2022 One of my top clients Just hit their 250th workout since starting with me. When you’re considering your journey it’s very easy to get caught up in wanting short term results and getting frustrated if you don’t see change in one week. Progress takes time and sometimes you need to trust the process.... It’s not always easy to create new habits and routines and you will have times when you slip back into old habits or have a bad week. Keep going! In saying that if you’re not seeing results and you’ve been consistent and doing everything right you may need to change your approach. Build solid habits and be consistent and if you’re not seeing results ask yourself this: Are you tracking your food accurately Are you monitoring your training and aiming for progressions How’s your lifestyle overall~ sleep, stress How consistent have you been and how long have you been training for Do you blow out on weekends?

Proud of this client and the hard hes put in over the last 6months. Theres no secrets or short cuts, except focusing on making changes to your daily lifestyle.... #hardwork #results #weightlossmotivation #fatloss #fitness #onlinecoach #health #weightlosstransformation

04.01.2022 Should you eat before training? Personally I eat a banana before training, its easily digested and doesnt upset my stomach. A pre-workout meal should contain a form of carbohydrate and depending on the time frame form your training session will depend on the type of carbohydrate you can consume. Closer to your session stick with a easily digested carbohydrates such a honey, banana or even something like a few lollies. If youre eating 90-120min before training complex car...bs will be suitable as they take longer to digest and shouldnt upset your stomach if consumed well before your training. This could be oats, rice, bread. Whey protein is also suitable to consume before training combined with a carbohydrate and will help with muscle protein synthesis Commonly individuals who train early in the morning will skip a meal. This might not be too bad if you eat a substantial meal for dinner, however for best results aim for 30-50g of carbs pre- workout Whats your go to meal pre- workout meal?

02.01.2022 My goal when working with clients is to improve their health and fitness and also their relationship ship with food. I focus on improving movement patterns and quality of life through movement education. Its not about good and bad foods but education which leads to long term weight loss and lifestyle changes clients can maintain Anyone can improve their health and well-being with the right mindset, tools, consistency and accountability.... Heres a recent testimony from one of my clients: Abbey not only helped me to lose weight, she basically changed my life. I now have a healthier relationship with food, I dont feel worried about going to the gym and I feel the fittest I have ever been. She never made me feel guilty for eating bad foods, rather she helped me to understand that eating healthy, balanced meals is more important than dieting. With her guidance I now have a better understanding of health and its affects on every aspect of our lives. I dont think I would be where I am physically, or mentally, without Abbeys expertise.

01.01.2022 That old saying of couples that train together, stay together. Runners stretch is one of my favourite stretches to open up the hips and thoracic spine. Today we did a session outside, considering its the start of winter the middle of the day was stunning ... Its great that gyms are opening back up as strength training is important, however I also love training outdoors. Having a good balance in your training can be beneficial in all areas. Cardio can be beneficial for strength and endurance plus the added benefit of heart health, wellbeing. Vitamin D for bone density , mental health plus many other benefits. Is there any part of your training thats changed that youll stick with? #health #wellbeing #outdoortraining #fitness #lovelocalcamden

01.01.2022 I know yesterday I put up a post about the days Im aiming to train this week. I know for lots of people especially parents finding time to train can be difficult especially at this current time. If youre finding it hard to train with kids and finding time thats ok. Making the most of a situation is all you can do.... If its 10mins of a workout or a walk or a meditation session. Or even some stretches some movement is better then nothing and being hard on yourself about what youre not doing will not help how youre feeling or increase motivation to move. Do what you can and if youre stress is so much higher, decreasing your exercise intensity will most likely help you feel more energised and refreshed then a huge training session to exhaustion. Youre training might not be how it used to and thats ok, focusing on making the most of the situation and focus on other areas that may be beneficial that you can carry into normal life. This could be more relaxation, sleep, better nutrition but also learning to not be so hard on yourself and celebrate the small wins : @matt.ingram.art #health #fitness #weightloss
